POLITICAL. Grcely’s Tiruis of Union. Many Southern Democratic presses are publishing extracts from what purports to be a speech recently delivered in Jvansas hv Horace Greely, of the New-York Tri bune, in which that individual sets forth the “conditions” on which he and his friends are willing to combine with the Opposi tion. The Morning News published the same extracts some days ago, and called on us to state how we liked the terms.— We intended answering the question, but it escaped our mind until we found it fully- met by T a contemporary, the Nashville Pa triot, in the following words, which vve ac cept and endorse : “In respouse to the above, as one of the southern opponents of sham democracy, we have to say that Mr. Greely need not trouble himself, about either “an alliance or a “jumble” with southern men. I hey desire, above all things, to steer clear of such hairbraiued fanatics as ho. In all their calculations respecting a union of the opposition to sham democracy, they' have never, for a moment, been willing to strike hands with him, or any of his class. What they' desire is a union of national conserva tive men, upon broad national principles; and not a “ring streaked” combination of all sorts of discordant materials. They have too much Jove of their own section of country, too much self-respect, to listen to, much less to consider such a proposition as that made by Greely. Believing that under the guarantees of the Constitution, they have a right to take their slaves to, and hold {hem, as such, in any territory of the Union, already acquired, or to he ac quired, they can never couseut to yield that right. It would be well for northern men to bear tills fact in mind; for they make a great mistake when they think that there is any party in the South willing to stand upon a platform which commits them to opposition to the extension of sla very. “The interests of the country—the peo ple everywhere, North and South—demand the redemption of the government from the hands of the spoils democracy. Let fana tics and fanaticism ot every hue, be dis countenanced, and the great uncorrupted masses take the management of their poli tics into their own keeping. By so doing they can build up a party' co-extensive with the Union, of sufficient strength to beat down the democracy and to reform the government. Will they’ do it ?” Having now candidly answered the ques tion of the News and other Democratic papers, we beg leave to propound a similar one to them, hoping they will he equally explicit. How do you like the terms upon which that other and still more dangerous Freesoiler, Stephen A. Douglas,—whom you have, nearly all, denounced as a trait or— proposes to combine with the southern Democrats to defeat tire election of a Whig to the Presidency' ? Ho and Greely go in for exactly tl;e same thing, to wit: the ex clusion of slavery from the Territories, only they have different modes of accomplishing it—the latter by a Wilmot Proviso, and the former by Squatter -Sovereignty. We pause for a reply. Let it be frank and to the point.—Savannah Republican. ry of State. The General speaks in glori ous terms of the Spanish people, and espe- , cially of the Queen Mother, whom he con siders to be a kind hearted, amiable per son. In regard to the acquisition of Cuba, the General is not very sanguine. Our present Minister, he thinks, will he very popular ; but whether he will he able to get Cuba by purchase or otherwise the de ponent sayeth not.— Cor. N. 1. Herald. Opposition State Convention. From the Knme Courier. * * * * * If * *•* Wo cordially approve, the suggestion of a Convention of delegates from all the op position elements in Georgia, on the 3rd Wednesday of July next; and as there is, probably, no ground of objection to the day, we hope our friends throughout the State will organize forthwith, and see to it that every county be represented. Let them send up their ablest ai»d*best men to consult together for the deliverance <>1 the country from the troubles that have been brought upon her by' abuse and misrule. From tli£ American Citizen. Let there be a general rally of the patri otic people of the State, and not of the demagogues and office hunters. Every candid man must admit that the democrat ic party’ has become corrupt and reckless in its manner of conducting the affairs of the government—that it is seeking by the basest means to perpetuate its reigo—that it scruples not at bribery or treachery' to accomplish its nefarious ends—that it seeks to buy’ power with the people’s mon ey. All these it does, and inauy other things equally abhorent. And yet there are men in the country', good honest men, so infatuated, so blinded by' their love of par ty, that they will not see these things. Then let the opposition meet in Conven tion and put forward a man who will go be fore the people and hold up to their view the corruption of this bogus democratic party—that will expose the miserable sophistry with which they' attempt to hide their treachery from the eyes of the peo ple. With such a man, we hope and be lieve that we can succeed in Georgia.— Then let our friends organize in every’ county in the State, and bring out their strongest men lor the Legislature ; men who are able and willing to exhibit demo cracy in all its hideousness to the honest yocuianry olthe country. ly objectionable to commence agitation on this subject on the evo of a Presidential election,'when the results of such agitation may be theielectiou of a Black Republican President in 1860, the most woful calamity lhat could come upon the South or the Union. 4. The natural increase of our slaves at present is such as to duplicate the inumber of them within the period of twenty-thiee and*a half years. We have now between four and five millions of slaves in the South'.. In 1SS3 the number of our slaves from natural increase alone will probably amount between nine and ten millions.— By the expected emancipation in Mary land. Virginia, Kentucky’ and Missouri, these teu millions will be pent np within the territorial limits of ten or twelve ex treme Southern States. Suppose, what must inevitably happen, that by’ the ad mission of new States into the Union, there should be sufficient Northern majority to bring about a change in the constitution so as to enable Congress, as its own dis cretion, to abolish slavery everywhere, shall we not be sufficiently occupied iu managing and controlling our native slave population, without casting among them thousands, and perhaps millions, of wild and savage Africans to add to our troubles. 5. We have as much labor in the South at present as our local interests demand, and more if they’ were wanted could he ea sily obtained from Virginia and Mary land, and ether slave breeding States. 0th. If we repeal the laws, as asked for, the North will have to bear all its bur dens. 7. The infusion of this barbarous for eign element amidst our slave population will greatly retard their advancement in moral and religious culture, diminish their happiness and inevitably degrade both the classes of masters and slaves ; altogether uprooting the present kindly .relations ex isting between these classes, making a more rigid and penal discipline indispen sable, and involving the whole white popu lation in the danger of being demoralized and brutified. Col. Janes I. Cambers for Governor. To Editor Columbus Enquire-: It is rot a bad maxim to “prepare for war in time of peace.” That our political hori r-nn indicates a war of politics, if not of blood, is as plain to even a casual observer as tire nose-upon the face of any man. I, with many’ others, irrespective of old party lines, had fondly hoped that our present Governor would ho nominated by’ bis own party by acclamation, and that too, upon his own merits, without any attempt to place him upon either the Buchanan or Douglas platform—keeping him entirely separate from national politics. Put him upon th-e track divested of all platform. but those which are connected with our State -polley, and the merits of his own administration, and the result will by no means hypothetical. He c:m beat any man in Georgia for Governor, who has to carry either the Buchanan or the Douglas platforms,or that runs against Gov. Brown’s administration. But from all the liglrts before me, I think it very doubtful whether Gov. Brown will get the nomination; and even if he does, he will he so trammeled with collateral foreign issues, thousands of his. warmest admirers, both Americans and Democrats will be compelled from a love of their own Georgia to look, though reluctantly, to some one else, to guide the helm ot State for the next two years at least. Should such a crisis arise, what ought we to de? is the question.. 1 answer, let us look out for some other man that will do as Gov. Brown Las done tire past two years. 1 think, I speak the sentiments of nine tenths id tire farmers of middle and upper Geor gia, when 1 say we are tired, utterly dis gusted with mere politicalparlizan Govern ors. 7Y T e want a man o£ independence, sterl ing infegn/i/, and a large share of a v ery scarce commodity In these days—common sense. And while my mind -runs over many that would make us a most excellent Gov ernor, I know of no one more so than your honest countrymen, James M. Cma-mcers. For intelligence, independence, integrity, common sense apd practical experience, he will compare favorably with any other gentleman in the State. I do not make this remark from heresay. I have known him personally’ from my youth, and a man more charitable and of higher tened moral bearing, 1 have never known ; and there are thousands iu old Hancock and Put nam that will say the tame. In conclu sion, 1 again say-, if we can’t get Gov. Brown upon the traek as we wairt hive, Col. Chambers will do “the thing” as “brown” as ever Gov. Brown has, and would make a Governor that the State and his numerous friends would have justifia ble grounds ever to be proud of. This is the honest opinion of many voters in mid dle and upper Georgia. MANY VOTERS. TTe publish this week the cal! of the Executive Committee, recommending a State Convention, of the Opposition. We most cheerfully “second the motion,” and trust that there will be a full delegation sent from every county in the State.

The Democratic Convention met in the Repre sentative Ilall for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Governor, at 10 o’clock, A. M. C’ol. Cam pbfcll said, that as one of the Executive Committee, he had been requested to call the Con vention to order. For the purpose of organizing lie would move that Col.

Letters have just been veceivetMiere from our Minister at Berlin, ile is decidedly 7 of opinion, after a careful survey of affairs, that the war will extend beymnd' Italy and involve the whole o£ Europe. That while, Prussia is determined to remain ‘neutral, and preserve the compact entered into by the Confederation, the smaller German Powers are averse to it, and man ifest a strong desire to take part in the contest now going on. Whether Prussia will he able to maintain her position of neutrality and control the action of the German States h exceedingly doubtful.— The present aspect of affairs in Europe, he Blinks, is perilous indeed.) It is believed by many, notwithstanding the authoritative contradiction, that there is a secret treaty or underst! ndiug between France and Russia, and that should war continue it will shortly develop itself. General Dodge, late Minister to Spain,; lias arrived here, and yesterday had an h;li-n’b'W with the President and Secreta- UfdiirUoa ufilie Lcgislaiuie. We see that several of our exchanges are agitating the justice and propriety of changing oar Constitution so as to bring about reduction in the number of our law makers, and we hope they may succeed iu effecting tlieir object, and that our sys tem iu this respect, will undergo a thorough change. We want to see the State laid off into "Senatorial and Representative Districts, and the number of our members reduced at beast two-thirds. Our present system is unequal, and consequently unfair. Under our Constitution, the county with a federal representative population of-1.-500 has as many legislators as the county ofiO,- 000. Our laws are said to he made by a majority of the people, but it may be very dearly seen that this may not be so; for instance take a. statistical account publish ed by one of the papers of the population of sixteen counties, eirglit lias a population of a fraction over J9,000, while the other eight lias a fraction over 66,000, and yet cachol those counties arc entitled to the same membership in the legislature-— Here there is more than three to one, and still equal in tiwi law making branch of the State. The true principle of represen tation is in proportion to the population, and every thing that comes short of this is radically wrong and. unjust,"and should not !>e permitted to exist in our system.— Besides its unfairness and inequality, there are other reasons that might be urged with force. The expense of our legisla ture has been quite an item, and in propor tion as the members are reduced, and that too, without detriment to the public service on account of the loss ol members, for it is well known that large deliberative bodies are neither as -expeditious nor prudent in their actions as smaller ones, and the same ameiuvt of business would.be done in less time than it now is. And there are several counties in the State that drew more mon ey from the treasury for the pay of mem bers than tliey pay taxes ; some, of them twice the amount. And again, by the re duction, a large amount of—well, for lack of a better term, we will call it leather-hcad- ieuu— might be kept out ot the legislature for the reason that the constituency out of which they would be selected, would be increased, and consequently better myte- rial out of which a la w maker would be at hand. We regard the question a very im portant one, and believe that when it is presented to the people m its true aspect, the change will be made. IV c hope so at least.—Pulaski Tunes. Gov. Foole 6ii the African Slave Trade. Gov. Foote delivered a speech recently at. Yazoo City on the African slave trade. The following are the objections at the close ot the speech : J. Because the importation of laborers from Africa would have theeffectof depre ciating the value of the products ot slave labor, Ly increasing the amount of cotton made in comparison with the demand- of tluit article in the. markets of the world, thus indicting great pecuniary detriment upon the planting world. 2. The amount of cotton produced being greatly increased by such importation and the price of it in market lowered, the price of slaves would also go down, their value being always in proportion to the amount of profit resulting from their labor. This reduction in price -would greatly diminish the interest" of the slave owners of the South in the maintenance of our present system of domestic labor, and -thus serious ly endanger tlie permanency of that sys tern. 3. The agitation of this question at the present time is calculated to divide .and distract tire South, whilst it will afford a plausible pretext to enemies of our institu tions in the North to keep up their hostile organization against us. It is particular- Pol.itic.u-.—The Washington correspon dent of the Philadelphia Press says, that the next Congress will be the most exci ting, for many resons, that lias ever assem bled. It will call togather a House of very doubtful political complexion, and a Senate in which will be mauy contradicto ry and conflicting elements. The popular branch is, beyond peradventure, hostile to the Administration, whilst in the Sen ate the President can hardly claim a per sonal friend, unless it is Mr. Slidell, of Loui- ana. The California organs of tho Adminis tration profess much more regard for Doug las than do Mr. Broderick and his friends. The latter manifest but little care for the Democratic organization, and will not promise to be bound by the action of the Charleston Convention. The opposition in Virginia, so far, have gained largely in the elections for the Legislature. The Lynchbuig Whig says : If we iiad had candidates out in all the counties, we believe we should have carried the Legislature by a handsome majority. Wm. L. Goggjn, the late defeated oppo sition candidate for Governor of Virginia, is named as a candidate for President of the United States by the, Petersburg Intel ligencer. The Opposition members of the Legisla ture of New Jersey have issued a call for the Opposition State Convention to meet in Trenton on the 7th of September next. The Republican journals of Pennsylva nia arc just now pushing forward the ciinms of lion. Simon Cameron for the Presiden cy. Tho Harrisburg Telegraph and the Mauch Chunk Gazette are holding him up in the best light possible before the Repub lican party, and the Warren Mail says he would be sure to carry Pennsylvania, and could combine the conflicting interests and preferences of other States quite as readi ly as Mr. Banks, or Mr. Bell, or Mr. Bates, or Mr. McLean, or Mr. Chase, and much more readily than Mr. Seward. Office Hoi.dixc.—There are very few public positions which offer any induce ments to an enterprising man. It may be set down as a rule, that the same talent and qualification, which fit a person for public office, if directed to other business, will command equally high salaries, and more satisfactory results. Besides this, the man who devotes his attention to private busi ness, even on a salary, if he does not choose to conduct it on his own accord, is free from many of the. vexations and perplexities at tending the discharge of official duties. In the first place, as things are now conduct ed, the applicant for office must run the gauntlet of candidacy, which to a gentle- mau of sensitive feelings, is exceedingly disagreeable ; he must draw upon the in dulgence of friends to furnish recommen dations for the positiou, he must place his own qualifications and character against those of men liis inferiors in every respect, and in nine cases out of ten, must at last he disappointed, after expending much time and money in the fruitless efforts. But we will suppose the candidate to be successful; is his condition better than that of the defeated ? As a general rule, we think not. -The salaries are not above the average in private pursuits; the incum bent is expected to contribute largely for political expenditures ; the tenure of posi tion is subject to a thousand contingencies, to say nothing of the feeling of political de pendencies which it engender, and the cer tainty that a change of political affairs must terminate suddenly the relation which he holds to the government. f N.

I do not endorse his policy relative to the Tariff and Pacific Rail Road, but in the main 1 approve of his administration, and if we do not eudorse it vve place ourselves outside of the pale of the national democratic party. This convention will not do that/ 1 know they will not. There is too much sense among them for tint. Where is the man that will not say, that Mr. Buchanan lias stood up to the interests of the booth on the Kansas ques tion, even when the bouth, I am sorry to say, with two solitary exceptions went by the board, and I am sorry that I was not there to make the third, but I have no doubt but 1 will be there, (cheers) and when I am there, 1 will stand by the national democratic party. Where will the South be?— Hopelessly in the minority gentleman, if you do not give gratitude to those who have defended your interests. Mr. Buchanan has done that and every body knows it. I do not wish to detain the Convention Mr. President. But I would ask how our cause stands in Virginia? They refused to give a hearty endorsement to the national admin istration aud we behold our majority of 30,000 re duced to five or six thousand majority; and that will be our fate iu Georgia if we pursue the same course. A Delegate, I am not afraid of that. We will stake Brown against the whole ot tho world and the balance of mankind. (Cheers.) Mr. Chastain—Mr. President, 1 am for Brown and Jim Buchanan too. We can at least give a quasi endorsement of ins administration. 1 do not want us to endorse all of bis measures, but only to give him the usual resolutions, bay. we have con tinued confidence in his patriotism, &c. Cries of question, question. Mr. Chastain—I liav’nt done yet. I wish to say 1 do not approve of every thing Mr. Buchanan has done, as Southern men vve could not approve of them all, but vve knew that when we voted for him. Several voices—No! No!! Mr. Chastain—We knew that he belonged to the iron clique of Pennsylvania, and I am not here to defend his course in reference to the Tariff.— But I do say, we ought not to stultify ourselves by refusing to pass the usual complimentary resolu tions. I belong to the Iron-ribbed Democracy. I do not walk by any of your new lights. I do not stand here Jo vindicate the rights of democracy, but 1 want tho party of which gentlemen you are members, to say that Mr. Bachanan is deserving of the gratitude "of the South for his course on the slavery question. Mr. btriekland rose to make a request. He wished the gentleman to withdraw his motion. Mr. Chastain—I liav’iit made any motion. I am -opposing one. Mr.Lvia ot Wilkes—I rise to a point of order. The point of order is tIlls: There was a motion made by the gentleman from Fannin, that a com mittee of three be appointed from each Congres sional district to report business for the action of this Convention. The gentleman from Muscogee (Mr Jones) moved as a substitute for that motion, that we nominate Joseph E. Brown as our candi date or Governor by acclamation. I say then, that it is out of order for the gentleman on the substitute to be discussing the politics oi’the coun try, and our federal . Nations at large. Mr. Chastain—The gentleman from Wilkes knows that upon the proposition I have the right to be heard, and you know it Mr. President, be cause you are too good a presiding officer to doubt it. The Chair—The gentleman is out of order. Mr. Chastain withdrew his motion. The motion of Mr. Jones then became the original motion to which Mr. be ward offered the following substitute: Resolved, That a Committee of three from each Congressional District be appointed by the Presi dent to report business for the action of the Con vention. Resolved, That the two propositions submitted to this Convention be referred to a committee of ten, i and that they report as early as practicable, and ! that the President appoint said Committee. | Mr. Seward—I desire to lay down a platform, I and if the National Democratic party can’t walk on | it, let.them walk off. I believe vve can harmonise I and give Mr. Buchanan a qualified endorsement, j Indeed, there arc but lew of his measures of which | vve ought not to approve. The Committee of ten can report resolutions which no doubt will har- the purpose of ascertaining who were entitled to seats as delegates to the Convention. Mr. Chastain of Fannin, moved that a Committee of one from each Judicial District be appointed for the purpose of reporting business for the action of the Convention, and nominate permanent officers to preside over the bodj». Mr. Jones of Muscogee, suggested that the first part of the motion could not be entertained, until tlie Convention was organized. Mr. Chastain then moved, that Col. John B. Walker of Morgan be the President of the Conven tion. Carried. On motion, the Chair appointed Messrs. Clias tain of Fannin, Drane of Talbot, and Phillips of Fulton a Committee to wait on the President elect, and conduct him to his seat. Before taking his seat the President addressed the Convention as fol lows : Gentlemen of the Democratic party of Georgia: By your kindness I have been elected one of the presiding officers of this Convention. Gentle men, if I had the capacity to sustain myself in the position iu which yon have placed me, I would gladly and proudly acknowledge the honor which you have conferred ; but gentlemen neither my original training nor my experience qualifies me for that position. The life of a farmer has not led me into a knowledge of laws which govern deliberate, parliamentary Assemblies.— I must therefore ask of you to attribute any failure on my part to an ignorance of tlie qualifications necessary for the position in which 1 have been placed ; and I ask of you to help me cover it, with the mantle of your charity. Wc are to day, gentlemen, the Representatives of the great political party cf Geoigia; to make choice of one from outranks to represent us in the xeeution of tlie laws of the country, and in main taining tlie dignity of these laws, and in upholding the dignity of Georgia in wisdom, justing and moderation. You perceive gentlemen that our task is no little and insignificant matter ; and you perceive too the high responsibility which rest up on-you, I trust too, vve shall all feel this responsibil- ty. We nave not met here to moot doubtful ques tions of policy. No sirs ; ours is a more glorious task. We have met here to talk freely of the achievements which we have made in the cause of Democracy. This is our business to day, as dele gates from the Democracy of the Empire State of the South. We meet as full blood brothers to talk ovt r our common interests and devise measures for our future progress and prosperity,and to put one of our number up as the great patriarchal head to . manage our Stale and Federal relations. As gen- i nine Democratic lovers of our State and Fede- J ral Constitutions, vve profess hatred to no open | Southern political, civil or religious organization, j Our object is to sustain that party that shall adheie | most tenaciously to the Constitution as it has been | transmitted to ns. We have not assembled here, j gentlemen, to discuss our political creed, to repair our political platform, to add a plank to it, or take one from it. No gentlemen, vve fee! that our old political platform is one so durable, that time may wither at its base, eternity play around its summit. We have come here to place upon that old political platform, a man that is worthy of our full and entire confidence, and who will secure the popular vote of the State. Our struggles, gentlemen, as a political party have not been feeble, nor have our triumphs been poor and mean. We have conquered our enemy, taken their generals, and made them to fight in our ranks. We have done more than this ; vve have conquered all their principles, and preserved all that was worth preserving, and inscribed them up- on our banners, and they will endure long after I monise the bodv. the tablet of my heart through age or decay shall j Mr. Muse ly—Before the question is taken, I wish refuse to bear any inscription. (Applause.) When, j to say that 1 understand the state of things to be gentlemen, vve shall have placed upon our p.atform this : The gentleman from Fannin made a motion a man that vve regard as worthy, we shall have done j t]iat a Committee of three from each Congressional our work. We are the only political party that, sustains the rights of the South and the Union.— Some of us have battled in the cause of Democracy for more than thirty years. We have seen during ^ that, time our cherished principles advance. We j two'remahfing questions shall be taken up first have seen subscribed to these principles tlie names 1 ... after where he of almost every great, man, no m: originally stood. We see that in thirty years, and vve have to-day a brave, daring and nnterrified par ty, not less brave and daring than that little band of patriots that perished at tlie straits otTheremop- yke, and not less invincible than the Gods and demigods of Leathern mythology. Now. gentlemen, what devolves upon us, but to stand firm to onr principles ? Never let ns desert, our cause. We have gained already triumphs district be appointed— Mr. Terbune—That motion lias been withdrawn. The Chair—I so understand it. Mr. Moseley—The question now is, which of tlie ‘ . . 1 understand the last motion to be first in order. I ask leave to make a few suggestions before the questions are submitted that will take no advan tage of any individual. Cries of go on, go on. Mr. Moseley—The suggestion 1 make is this :— W ho are entitled to vote in this Convention, and liow many votes is each county entitled to cast ! If there had been no other motion before the body but that of the gentleman from Muscogee to nomi nate Gov. Brown as our candidate by acclamation, there would have been no need of settling any pre worthy of a brave aud magnanimous people : and I liininaries, lor I do not suppose that there would have been a dissenting voice to his nomination.— But now as it appears that there will be other business before this body than that of the bear nomination of a candidate, it becomes necessary in the usual way to determine who are to vote, and how many votes each county is'entitled to cast. It strikes me that it would be out of order now to proceed any further without the settlement of the usual preliminaries on such occasions. The Chair—Allow mo to say gentlemen that I have been satisfied that vve have been proceeding informally during the whole time. Botii nominations were then withdrawn. Mr. Terliune offered the following resolution : That in voting, this Convention shall observe the customary mode, allowing five votes to each county eutitled to three members of the Legislature, and three votes to those having two members. Mr. Mosely of Spalding offered the following resolution which was adopted : Resolved, That the Rules of the House of Repre- sensatives of the Legislature of Georgia, be adopted as far as they may be applicabe for the govern- greater triumphs still are ours if we remain firm to these same principles which have guided us hither to. What though storms and tempests threaten us, the angry lightnings flash around us, our brave vessel will weather all tlie dangers, if we but hold to these principles which guided our Washington, our Jefferson, our Jackson, our Polk, our Pierce and orr Buchanan. (Cheering Immense.) Mr. Hillyer of Walton announced that lie had bet n appointed to represent the county of Rabun by proxy. Mr. Terliune moved that the said proxy, and all others present be received and reported to the Sec retaries. Mr. Chastain renewed his motion for the ap pointment of a Committee of one from each Con gressional District to report business for the action of the Convention. Mr. Jo nes of Muscogee said, that as committees had not been appointed in the organization of the Convention, and it must be evident to use tho elo quent language of the chairman that they had not come there to alter the platform, lie thought that all their trouble could be ended by a substitute! merit of tin’s body in its deliberations. which he would propose to the motion of the gen tleman from Fannin. He would move therefore as a substitute to that motion, that Joseph E. Brown be nominated as the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor by acclamation. Before the motion could be put, much confusion arose. The greater part seemed desirous that the motion should be put at once. Mr. Cohen of Chat ham, objected to the hasty and unusual manner of ; proceeding. Mr. Shifl’old of Morgan, sniff that as the Conven- i tiun was not organized and ready for any business, there being neither Vice Presidents, nor Secreta ries appointed, be would move that George D. i a decision. Mr. J ones renewed his motion. Mr. Seward renewed his motion. Mr. Terliune moved for the purpose of allowing the clerks time to make out a list of the delegates the Convention adjourn until 3 o'clock, P. M. The Chairman decided the motion to be lost. A motion was then made to adjourn till 21 o’clock, P. M. The Chair decided that motion to bo lost A division was called for. Objections were made. Mr. Jones of Liberty—I submit Mr. President that you have no right to cram a decision down our throats, and disparage us in our rights. I demand Phillips of Habersham, and E. J. McGebee of Houston, be the Vice Presidents of the Conven tion, and the present acting Secretaries be appoint ed its permanent officers, The motion was carried. , The President then declared the Convention organized and ready for business. Mr. Chastain then renewed his motion altering : it so as to increase the number to three from each Congressional District. Mr Jones of Muscogee renewed bis substitute that Gov. Brown be. nomi- natted by acclamation. He said that no duty re- : mained for the Convention to perform, but that to ; which the President had alluded in liis elegant address. There was no new platform to erect for j tlie government of the Democratic party of the State of Georgia, no ( racks to be stopped, nothing in short, but to present a standard bearer under whose banner the party should march on to victory. J Mr. Chastain concurred with the gentleman from j Muscogee that that w;as the main object to be ae- I compiished, nor was he any less enthusiastic in liis : support of the substitute than the gentleman who j had offered it. but he was of opinion that it was tlie duty of the Convention to lay down a platform of principles, as had been usual in every Convention of the kind. Every member of the Convention ought to know where gentlemen stood. There , w ere great national principles w hich they had to I meet, and he would call upon gentlemen to an- The Chair—Tlie great object of the Chair has been to crain a vote. My object has been to get at the sense of tlie Convention. Mr. Terliune—The object of the gentleman from Liberty, is to let, the Clerks have sufficient time to make out the list of delegates in order to ascertain who is entitled to vote. For instance Baldwin county might have here a sufficient delegation to drown the voices of delegates from many of the counties. There is no true way of getting at the sense of the Convention before the Cierks have as certained who are entitled to vote. Mr. Jones of Liberty desired the vote might be a true exponent of the sense of the body. A division was then taken by rising, aud the motion tarried by 1C5 to 7d. AFTERKOO.V SESSION—21 o’clock, P. M. The Chair called the Convention to order. Mr. Steele of Spalding offered tho following reso lution, which was unanimously adopted. Hr solved. That Editors and Reporters of news papers present, have the privilege ofseats upon the floor, during the deliberations of this Convention. Mr. Seward w ithdrew his motion of the morning and offered in lieu thereof tho following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That the Democratic party of Geor gia continue to adhere to the principles announced by the National Convention at Cincinnati, in 1*56, swer, whether they were going to repudiate tlie: and its determination to insist upon their being A Suggestion.—The venerable Nation al Intelligencer, speaking of the approach ing Fourth of July, suggests that it would he a beautiful ami appropriate idea for tho school children of all onr cities and towns in the United States, to assemble oil the morning of the Fourth of July, to hail the day by songs of thanksgiving and patriot ism. national democratic party. Several voices,—No! No! No! That was the point. When they repudiated the | National Democratic party, he was no longer a , democrat. He was not in favor of all the measures ; of Mr. Buchanan, but in the main he gave the ad- j ministration bis support. Were they going to say by their silence that Mr. Buchanan had not prov en sound upon the slavery question? Mr. Jones called tlie gentleman to order. He said the question was in relation to the substitute, and upon that lie would move the previous ques tion. A Delegate said that they had no rules for the government of the Convention. Another said, give the gentleman a chance. Mr. Chastain. I atn entitled to the floor. Gen tlemen I make the appeal to you. you are respon sible for placing Mr. Buchanan in the chair, and whenever you pass him by in this way you repu diate liis administration. You do more. You say to the national demo cratic, party, we have no use for you. Yon reject all of our friends North of Masons and Dixon’s lino, and tlmrtoo when they have come up square to the issues in which we of tlie South are most, con cerned. You refuse to express your gratitude to those who have made every sacrifice in your favor. You may in spite of such a course, carry Georgia, but when you have carried that State where do you stand. Isolated and alone. I want to carry the national democratic party. Mr. Buchanan has stood up square to the interests of the South upon the Kansas and Nebraska question aud the Lo- coinpton Constitution when the .South turned traitor to him and went over to the English bill, and I do not want to repudiate his administration. I do not want to show such base ingratitude. I do not carried out in the administration of the Federal Govern ment. 2. Resolved, That we have confidence in the ability and patriotism of Janies Buchanan, the President of the United States, and that the Dem ocratic and National principles declared and set forth in his Inaugural Address and Annual Mes sages upon the subject of slavery meets the ap proval of the Georgia Democracy. 3. Resolved, That the honesty, fidelity, and abil ity which Joseph E. Brown has manifested, as the Executive of Georgia, entitles hi in to the confi dence of the whole people of the State, and we hereby nominate him by acclamation, as the can didate of the Democratic Party of Georgia, for the next Governor. Mr. Junes of Muscogee, moved to strike out the 2d resolution. Mr. Jackson of Clark—Let us take up these res olutions seriatem, and have an open, honest and fair expression from every member of tho Conven tion. To this no body can object. I want every thing to be done opeu and above board. ( Applause.) Mr. Moseley—When we adjourned in the mo- mug it was for the purpose of giving the Clerks time to make out the list cf the delegates. The unfinished business of the morning is the first in the afternoon, whenever we have ascertained who the delegates are, we shall be ready for business, but not until then. Mr. Steele—-I think my colleague from Spalding is right. Mr. Tracy of Bibb—I move to take up the last resolution first in order, after we have passed that, we are ready to transact any other business. Mr. Steele—We are assembled here for the pur pose of nominating a Governor for Georgia. Nine- tenths or nineteen-twentieths of the people of Gcor-! gia endorse the administration of Joseph E. Brown. Now, Sir, I am willing to go as far for his re-nomi nation as any other one, and after we have done this, I am not willing to go so far as to say wc shall do nothing else. Mr. Arnold of Chatham—You must get the con sent of the mover in order to pass over the two first resolutions. The Chair—I doubt whether you can jump over those resolutions and take up the third. Mr. Tracy—I move to lay the two first resolu tions on the table with a view to taking up the third. Mr. Seward—Parliamentary rules does not allow of such a mode of procedure. Mr. Tracy—I move as a substitute for the whole of the resolutions of the gentleman from Thomas, that we now nominate Joseph E. Brown for Gover nor by acclamation-. Mr. Seward—There is no man in this Conven tion that more heartily endorses the administration of Gov Brown than myself, aud I am not willing for gentlemen to undertake to place me in the at titude of putting the nomination of Gov. Brown as secondary to any other object. Mr Stecie—I am not for placing Gov. Brown at the tail end. I am tor placing him first.. Mr. Seward—It is better to place him a", the tail end, than to leave him at the tail end vdien the election comes on. I assert with all of his popular ity it will not be within our power to elect him, unless we place him on a platform endoi sing tiie Administration of President Buchanan. If we do not place him on that platform, we place him di rectly in the ranks of the Opposition. I da not wish to have a patty without a head. Wnenever the democratic party refuses to endorse tlie great principles upon which Mr. Buchanan acted, I ant no longer a democrat. No man can go iu advance of me whenever I think the rights of the South are invaded, and I am willing to go further than these resolutions go. I know that some gentlemen are tender-footed, in view of the coming elections. They are afraid to speak out, least they should be defeated, but I would rather be defeated, standing on honest and fair principles, than be elected by dodging any issue. Let us then come up like men and cast our votes like men, if we do not, we stand a chance of being defeated by the Opposi tion. Mr. Jones of Liberty—It appears to me that there is no attempt by these resolutions to underrate Gov. Brown. I do not see that there is any impu tation sought to be cast upon him by- placing him second to tlie President of the United States. A voice—I d". Mr. Wright of Floyd—I donbt Mr. President whether a more important Convention lias ever as sembled in this State for the purpose of consider ing measures having-a bearing upon otir State and Federal policy, and I was surprised to see how- near we were to a dissolution this morning without taking that deliberate action on the measures pre sented for our consideration which their iuipor- portance demanded. I do not characterise tlie measure by which this event was near being brought about as a trick, for I presume the gentie- menare above a trick, but I will say it was a mis take of judgment; so I regard it. It has been, is now, and ever will be the glory of the democrat ic party of t.-fis State and of the Union, that it dodges no political issue, and we are sent here as the representatives of the democratic party of tlie State of Georgia. Not merely to nominate a Gov ernor, bnt also to represent the public sentiment of the party in the State. Mr. Steele—Will the gentleman allow me to ask him a question’,? Mr. Wright—Certainly. Mr. Steele—Will the gentleman inform us how many of the 13(1 counties here represented outside of two or three which directed their delegates to vote for any measures having a bearing on tlie National Administration. Mr. Wright—Will the gentleman inf rm me how many of the Conventions assembled heiefor the purpose for which we Lave met, have adjourned \vitliout expressing an opinion on national affairs. Mr. Steele—I ask the gentleman one question, and he answers me by asking another. Mr. Wright—I thought it was tlie proper an swer to the gentleman, and it ought to have been. But I will answer the gentleman further, and say, • hat there was a Convention held immediately un der his own eye, who tailed to pass any resolutions on this subject, upon the ground that this was not the proper place to do it. Mi . Steele—I can answer, by positively pro nouncing that no such action, no such occurrence took place at the meeting of the 4th Congressional district; a remark to that effect was afterwards made, but it was entirely without foundation. Rise up delegates from Heard, Troup, Meriwether, aud say if I have not asserted the truth. Mr. Wright—You were not there. Mr. Steeie—I was there. Mr. Wright—It was a marked Convention if tlie gentleman was there. I was not of eonrse present myself, and cannot speak from personal knowledge, but I do not wish to be diverted from my purpose. I do not desire that our action on these resolutions shall be defeated by any move ment. I am satisfied if we can obtain an expres sion of opinion, even if I should be placed in a mi nority. Sir. I am not afraid of minorities. I stood here two years ago almost isolated, advocating the administration. And I stand here to-day, if neces sary, to occupy the same position. (Hisses.) The gentlemen who hiss had better resort to reason. In republics it is better to employ reason. I differ with Mr. Buchanan on some great national ques tions, aud I uid not tail to express my opposition to some of liis measures on one occasion in the House of Representatives in sueii a manner as be came the Representative of freemen, and I did not then speak of tho subordinate who executed the President’s orders, but of the President him self; because I held he was the man responsible to the people. I differ from him in more questions than one; but have we c<>tne to sueii a pass in Georgia, that we must repudiate a man because we eann-it endorse ali of las views? Sir, it has been the glory of our party, that we may differ and talk of those differences as brethren of one family, and settle them of ourselves without calling in the ene my to settle them. Permit ine to leave Federal polities for one moment to. come to the question that now divides us. There is an effort on the part cf some to use the nomination of Gov. Brown for purposes that I am satisfied, from a conversation with him, would not meet with his approval. If I understand him, he is the friend of the Federal Ad ministration, and he is the last man iu the State who would have us pass over in silence these reso lutions. Gov. Brown, in iny opinion, does not de sire to be run without a bead, nor to be placed upon a platform that he does not occupy. A very know • ing editor recently made tlie remark, that unless tfiis Convention endorsed the National Adminis tration, there was not power in the Democratic party to prevent tile defeat of Gov. Brown. And I will here state, with ail of my admiration for the character and talents of Gov. Bruwn, that he de serves to be defeated if we do not endorse the Na tional Administration. Mr. Lamar of Muscogee—Is the gentleman here to speak from authority as the exponent of the views of Gov. Brown. Mr. Wright—I do not speak by authority; but who that is a man and desires to lead the Empire State of the Scnth, would desire to be put in the front uf the battle and without a sword. No, gen tlemen, let usnot deceive ourselves. We are here tor a great purpose, and for as holy a purpose, it j we are true to ourselves, as ever actuated freemen. Permit me before I sit down to state what occurred between myself and a Democrat who was very much surprised to find that I was in favor of the National Administration. I told him that the re sult of a failure on the part of the States of the Union to sustain the National Administration, wffhld be the disorganization of the National Dem ocratic party, and as a necessary consequence, in my opinion, a dissolution of tiie Union. Not to re- peat liis profanity, he said was the very thing he de sired. If timt be your w isli, like men express it, and I will meet you upon that question. I am no psalm-singer to the perpetuity of this Union, but I am not ready to give it up yet. (Cheers.) When I am I w ill say so, and I will make that issue before the people and tell them the reason why aud where fore and ask their verdict; and if I am wrong, it will be their duty and privilege to correct me. If gentlemen entertain other views, let us respect them aud admire their honesty if we do not their judgment, 8ir, if vve fail to endorse the adminis tration of James Buchanan, we ignore the Nation al Democratic party. Ah! gentlemen, prepare for this. W here are your friends if yon repudiate the party that sustains the National Administration ? I tear then, in the language of the immortal Webster, we shall “behold the States of this Union dissev ered, discordant and belligerent, and drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood.” I have acceded to the last compromise on tlie part of the South that I ever shall. Have not other States spoken out in reference to tlie Administration? Have yon read the resolutions recently passed by our sister State, Louisiana? They nominated tlu-ir Governor, and then they passed resolutions endorsing 1 the Admin istration. Shall Georgia forma solitary exception to this rule ? What is the reason for it l A Delegate—I hope tlie chair will confine the gentleman to the question. Mr. W iiglff—Have gentlemen no sinister mo tive in this ? Though I am one of the new- lights I am as true a democrat as any, though I became one from the result of reflection. Ii is sufficient that I have been acting with the party for the last seven or eight years, though I may not have been one by Lirsli. I was present -on the interest ing occasion of my birth I doubt not, tbongh I have no recollection of it. I remember distinctly that when I became a full grown mat: that I was pitching into the Democracy like a thousand of brick. One word more. Why should we not en dorse the Administration of James Buchanan ? Is there a man who never differed from you, do you ever expect to have a President that will not differ from yon on some questions ? Whoever blindly follows a man without exercising the right of opin ion, is the veriest slave. On all the gieat questions connected with slavery, Mr. Buchanan has adopted the line of policy which the South recon, and it ill becomes her to say he is a train marched up with moral heroism and toot '/ ■ on her side. ** A voice was heard (thought to be from n ary.) “ 1 hats more than Wright did ” Some said clear the gallery, it was ton,,,, be in the gallery, but from a person in t V * (not a delegate,) who stood up and acknotCb th.it ue had used the words. ---2* Here such confusion occurred, the ren or > unable for some time to hear anythin-* ii;??*’’ After order was restored— ° l “-- Mr. Wright continuing, said, if you , ' the National Administration, who would von " to have for your next Presid. n;. * ° u ei i*c A voice—Alexander II.

Mr. Jones of Muscogee—I apprehend tliaj labored effort of the gentleman is’premature V . seems to be some misunderstanding by j,;i possibly on the part of others that there simple proposition to nominate Gov Brow* Governor, an intention to avoid any expn ' opinion upon the National Administration \ sir, my understanding is, that the delegates e..* ’ ed hare were for the purpse of making a uomii for Governor, and that it was not necessary to hs * the conflicting opinions existing on other ■ !

If after iln^ gentlemen desired, there might be bills uf accu-j. tion brought up as tongas the record of Peaitentij. ry convictions We did not desire to do t 1 ; ; tiling, and therefore in the charity of onr souls said, nominate Joseph E.

There no solid chance to beat the one proposed It be nominated npon any platform; he wi:l comciii.., the Executive Chair on account of his prodt: five administration. We may safely leave the Charles ton Convention that meets next year to take care of i’self. Mr. Ashton of Striven followed, taking up ea.ii of the resolutions in order and gave his reasons for supporting them. He eulogized Governor lir.ion as tlie man that had touched the dead corpse of pub lic credit, and made it rise up to life and that b« had known of but one man opposed t" Imu, ar„I lie w as one that had been used to the revels of Continental halls where he had beheld things very different from the simplicity and even Christian turn that had characterized tlie rule of the pre» ;it Chief Executive of Georgia. [.The Reporter re grets his inability to do justice to the eloquent r-- marks of Mr. Ashton. It w its in the afternoon it the hot est part uf the day, and the heat arising from the sultry condition of the atmosphere to gether with that arising from the three hundred an ! thirty-two delegates—not to mention the crowds of other persons present—w as truly intense. As many as possible crowded near tlie door where the Reporter was sitting, and he is sorry to say, did not have that respect for his rights that they ought to have bad. lie does not impute this, however, to any design, for he has no doubt they did not know that the sligiitest variation from a straight or a cun-e line in liis writing, or a slight addition in length, to line or mark, materially changes the sense of w hat is written. Had they known this, he has no doubt they would not have put their heavy arms on his slender desk, leaned up against it, take up a sheet of paper, cai ry off a pen and never bring it back again. If these things be repeated in future, he" fears he will be under the painful necessity of mentioning to !Le public the names of the party so offending. In addition to aH these things, the po sition of Mr. Ashton, with respect to liim, wassnrh that he could not once catch a glance of him. He learns that he is quite a young man, of great prom ise, and hopes it may be the Reporter’s gwl fortune on some other oecarioa to do him t’n;l justice, j Air. Tracy called for the previous question. Mr. Jackson of Clark, hoped that the previous question would not be passed, as the effect of it would be. according to the interpretation uf that motion by the House of Ht-presenta- tives of Georgia, to cut off all amendments ami substitutes, aud bring the vote of the Convent! mi directly upon the original motion, which was the nomination of Governor Bro wn. He desired a fair and open vote on the various propositions submit ted, and then, in the language sometimes heard in liis part of the country, “let the longest pole kumk down the persimmon.” Air. Moseley: By general consent I would like to make a suggestion. In the blessed book it written, and 1 hope it will be remembered on tlie present occasion, “blessed is the peace maker.’’ A most excellent piece of advice is also to be found in the same volume, which is this: “See that y. fall not out by the way.” My impression is. tL : those w ho are in iavor of the first and second reso lution, press them, first, not because they aie op posed to the nomination of Governor Brown by ac clamation. I do not impnte any such motive to them : but. because they fear lest after his nomii-a- tion the Convention should adjourn without giving an expression of opinion on the other two res"iu- tions. As I do not desire that there should be any want of harmony in the Democratic family, and as there is, perhaps, no difference of opinion on the first resolution, I suggest that the first and third l-‘ acted on first; and after that the,second maybe entertained if there be a disposition on th- part d the Convention to do so. - The Clerk proceeded to the call of the counties in urder to ascertain whether the previous qu -ti-'a would receive a second. At this stage, contusion ran to its highest pitch. This being the first tew the vote had been taken by eounties, the delegates were not at all at a convenient distance to eacu other. Some had to be bunted up—some d:d nut understand the nature of the previous question- some were in favor of it and others of the fair. delegation opposed to it. Tills being the stale u. tilings ail over the house at the same thee, created a state of things rarely ever witnessed. The l’resi- dent, with his suaeiUr of manner could notcoutn- the boisterous scene. The Vice Presidents wor* unable, and they had to wait until the rag::jg b"' lows should spend their force and subside, n * ai clear after tho cal! of a few e unties, that the H 6- vious question would not receive a second,and i* iu mover withdraw it. The sense of the body was then taken o li r ‘‘ first resolution, which passed unanimously. second received 374 yeas .and 34 nays—Air. Lioooi. from Randolph, entered his protest against i»<j passage of the resolution. The third was pa-’ e ' with unanimity, aii4 received a hearty deuH'iist’' 1 - tion in its favor.
